[Ubuntu Chicago] Experiences with ATT

[Jim Campbell]

You will be fine if you go with their standard DSL modem, and then connect
it to your wireless router.  Your wireless router will just contain your
login connection info, and will maintain the connection for you.  FWIW, my
sbc/att/whatever connection has been very reliable.

I can only offer up personal experience regarding the bandwidth.  I get
about 300kb/s on most of my downloads.  I'm not exactly sure which plan I
have, though.  It's been fine enough for me.  I'm no expert on what factors
affect DSL speed, either . . .

Good luck!

Jim
